Mask wearing exceptions:
- When judges are in the halls adjudicating
- When competitors are playing in practice rooms, warm-up rooms, and performance halls
- When eating or drinking
Butler School of Music precautions:
- Hand sanitizer is provided in all classrooms and throughout the building
- Air purifiers are in all classrooms (not included in practice rooms, Recital Studio or Bates Recital Hall)
